Compound- ingthenation'ssevereshort- age of execution drugs, fed- eral authorities have seized shipments of a lethal-injec- tion chemical that Arizona and Texas tried to bring in from abroad, saying the im- ports were illegal. "Courts have concluded that sodium thiopental for the injection in humans is an unapproved drug and may not be imported into the country for this pur- pose," Food and Drug Ad- ministration spokesman Jeff Ventura said in a state- ment. In addition, the FDA bars importation of drugs from manufacturers that are not approved by the agency, a rule intended to protect Americans from impure or otherwise dangerous phar- maceuticals. Sodium thio- pental is no longer made by any FDA-approved com- panies. Arizona paid nearly $27,000 for sodium thio- pental, an anesthetic that has long been used in exe- cutions, according to doc- uments obtained by The Associated Press. Federal agents intercepted the ship- ment when it arrived via British Airways at the Phoe- nix airport in July, the doc- uments show. The documents do not re- veal what country or com- pany Arizona tried to im- port the drugs from. Texas and FDA authori- ties gave even fewer details about the seizure there. Death penalty states have been struggling to ob- tain execution chemicals for several years after Euro- pean companies refused to sell the drugs. States have had to change drug combi- nations or put executions on hold while they look for other options. Tennessee brought back the electric chair as a backup method of execution, and Utah did the same with the firing squad. Earlier this year, Ne- braska was told by the FDA that it could not legally im- port lethal-injection chem- icals after the state paid $54,400 for drugs from Harris Pharma, a distribu- tor in India. The FDA would not say Friday whether it confiscated those drugs. Officials in Arizona said they believe the drugs seized there are legal. "The department is con- testing FDA's legal author- ity to continue to withhold the state's execution chem- icals," Arizona Corrections Department spokesman Andrew Wilder said. Other states have also looked into buying drugs from international phar- macies. Ohio, which has halted executions until at least 2017 because of a lack of drugs, sent a letter ear- lier this month to the FDA asserting that the state believes it can obtain a le- thal-injection drug over- seas without violating any laws. LETHAL INJECTION CHEMICAL States accused of importing illegal execution drugs By Matthew Daly The Associated Press WASHINGTON Demo- crats on the House Beng- hazi committee said Fri- day they are staying — for now — on the Republican- led panel, despite calling it a "fishing expedition to de- rail" Hillary Clinton's pres- idential bid. At the same time, they called on House Speaker John Boehner to immedi- ately shut down what they called an "abusive, waste- ful and obviously partisan effort." If Boehner rejects the re- quest, Democrats will con- tinue to participate "in or- der to make sure the facts are known and the conspir- acy theories are debunked," Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland and four other Democrats said in a state- ment. Cummings is the panel's senior Democrat. The five committee Dem- ocrats made the announce- ment after a meeting with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who had said earlier Friday that Demo- crats could halt their par- ticipation in the committee. Democrats have been pondering whether to re- main on the panel, which has spent more than $4.5 million investigating the Sept. 11, 2012, attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that killed four Americans. Democrats have labeled the probe a partisan effort to undermine Clinton's White House bid and said Thursday's marathon hear- ing with Clinton only con- firmed their views. Clinton, who was secretary of state during the attacks, endured a grueling interrogation by GOP lawmakers at the 11- hour hearing. Pelosi said Republicans have distorted events in Benghazi to the point where there is a "disconnect with reality that exists on that committee." Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said it was "time to pull the plug on this parti- san spectacle." The Beng- hazi panel "is not just a waste of taxpayer money, it is a waste of precious time in Congress to deal with urgent matters," McCaskill said Friday in a conference call in which she and other Democratic senators urged that the panel be shut down. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D- N.Y., called the committee a "political sham" that dis- honors the victims. Rep. Adam Smith, D- Wash., said he and other Democrats on the Benghazi panel "learned absolutely nothing" during Thursday's contentious hearing or the 17-month investigation that preceded it. Clinton had confronta- tional exchanges with sev- eral GOP lawmakers on Thursday, but also heard supportive statements from Democrats. She defended her record while dodging any displays of anger that could be used later by the GOP to damage her White House prospects.

Elijah Cummings, D-Md., have a heated discussion on the dais on Capitol Hill in Washington on Thursday. Thiscouldbeyourluckyday by helping a dog or cat find a loving home from...
